Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Adapted from Dezső Kosztolányi's 1930 novel 'Esti Kornél', a cornerstone of Hungarian modernist literature rarely translated.

Insight

Szász deliberately cast stage actors unfamiliar to film audiences to create disorienting, theatrical intimacy that mirrors the characters' own performative lives.
